KEY TAKEAWAYS

Riverside is the recommended software for high-quality virtual podcast recording, maintaining audio and video quality better than alternatives like Zoom.
Ideal equipment setup includes a dynamic microphone (XLR or USB), ring lights or softboxes for lighting, and using your phone as the camera for the best video quality.
Both the host and guest should wear headphones to prevent audio bleed and echoing during the recording.
Record in a quiet, indoor space with soft furnishings to improve sound quality and use a plain background for a professional look.
Position yourself properly on camera, leaving adequate headspace and space on both sides for optimal framing in video clips.
Minor details like fake plants, bookshelves, or acoustic panelling can enhance the visual appeal of your recording space.

BEST MOMENTS
"If you want the very best quality, you would get a dynamic microphone, like an XLR mic, like a Shure one that plugs into an external recorder, like a PodTrack P4, which is what we use in our studios, that then plugs into the computer, but it saves locally to the PodTrack, that's for the very best quality."
"No green screens, no virtual backgrounds. Yeah, that was all sarcasm, by the way. In case you couldn't tell. For those American listeners, it was us joking. So the idea is make it as plain and boring as possible."
"If you have animals or worse, children, tell them to f*ck off. That's a clip. Right? They can go. Please don't do it in a bathroom, conservatory, or kitchen or when you're getting your hair done. Or on a building site, or on a beach. We're definitely not listing places that clients have sent us recordings from."
